Earlier in the year NS had chance to see the Dinomark AM up close and have liked the idea of a cruiser class warship able to operate in atmospheres so much they want their own! Today President Sea Urchin announced initial funding for the Multi-Mode Combat Ship (MMCS) project.
It is thought a modified Type 35 will be the core of the MMCS. NS Research have already conducted a design study of a modified Panther with turbines and aerodynamic changes. Sea Urchin has said the MMCS is a priority project and a specification will be drawn up in 2120.
